Summary
An artistically talented and creativePokemonfan is quickly gaining online attention for their impressive concept art of a Paradox form for the classic legendary Pokemon, Lugia. The fan-made artwork draws inspiration from a variety of unlikely places, resulting in an intimidating monster that hundreds of otherPokemonfans seem to be loving.
Introduced as part ofPokemon’s 2nd generation, Lugia is a dual-type Psychic/Flying Legendary Pokemon, despite being heavily related to the sea and known as the Diving Pokemon. Lugia makes up one half of the Tower duo along with Ho-Oh from the Johto region, and is actually thetrio master of the legendary birds, which is made up of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. This particular Lugia, however, looks capable of commanding creatures even more powerful.

The impressive artwork in question comes from a Reddit user with the handle of feveretro, who posted their piece to one of the site’s majorPokemonforums. Fittingly called Forgotten Abyss, the Paradox form Lugia features a largely similar body structure, but with many ghastly features. The creature features dark translucent skin with a sharp, jagged fin across its back, allowing an icy skeleton to peek through. Lugia’s hand-like wings have also become more pronounced and jagged, along with an ice-covered head full of aggressive, sharp angles. With glowing orange eyes and a black fire tail, feveretro has created quite the imposing Pokemon.
Plenty of otherPokemonfans are appreciative of the work, with the post receiving nearly 500 upvotes at the time of writing, along with a healthy comment section filled with praises. The artist stated they drew inspiration from black icebergs, arrowheads, and creatures like an Elasmosaurus, which is a toothy plesiosaur. It’s hardly the first time aPokemonfan has created an ancient variant of the character, with another fan recently making headlines for theirancient Paradox form of Lugia. Interestingly, the fan also used plesiosaurs as their source of inspiration for their artwork.
With such an intimidating design, and being called “Forgotten Abyss, the time-lost ancient horror,” the artist’s creation successfully evokes fear from people, as the post’s comments prove. However, anotherPokemonfan has recently come up witha realistic version of Lugiawhich fans are finding similarly terrifying. The fan art depicts a much more detailed and textured version of the Pokemon erupting out of the ocean during stormy weather, and while closer to the original design than the one above, has a similarly menacing vibe.
While some recent fan art has depicted Lugia in a rather fear-inducing light, otherPokemonfans have created things on the other end of the spectrum. One fan recentlycrocheted a huge Lugia plush, illustrating the vastly different types of fan art thatPokemonfans can come up with.
